Calvinism on the Frontier 1600-1660

International Calvinism and the Reformed Church in Hungary and Transylvania

Graeme Murdock

Description

The reformation was not a western European event, but historians have neglected the study of Protestantism in central and eastern Europe. This book aims to rectify this situation. It examines one of Europe's largest Protestant communities in Hungary and Transylvania. It highlights the place of the Hungarian Reformed church in the international Calvinist world, and reveals the impact of Calvinism on Hungarian politics and society.
